    technology > displacement w/ out technology

    displacement w/ technology = no replacement for displacement

    6.2 FTW! that thing is gona be a monster Zach!

    ...and... how can you say that a smaller motor with the same OR older technology will perform better??
    were talking about performance, not cost, cause i know the LS3 costs more

    Newer technology is there for a reason. GM didn't spend millions in engineering to build an inferior engine. Just because you don't think its better doesn't mean it isn't. You're comparing 10 year old technology that everyone and their brother has been working to make better vs. an engine thats only been available for two years. I'll bet in 8 years you'll be singing a different tune.

    not everything GM has put money into has been successful. the heads just dont have good velocity for the size of runners. that isnt new technology thats just basic theory
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
